CNN demonstrates why its ratings are in the toilet, airs graphic diarrhea scene

Today’s headlines on CNN: Bombs found in house … students protest tuition hikes … Jeff Daniels has diarrhea … and CNN wonders why its ratings are in the dumper.

Somebody screwed up at CNN. We assume some video editor was watching Dumb & Dumber instead of paying attention to what he was supposed to be doing. The result? A disgusting scene from the raunchy comedy showed up in the middle of a CNN story about, well, we’re not really sure what it was about because, after all, it was CNN and we weren’t paying attention, either.

It can happen. We have a friend who had a brief brush with notoriety back in the late 60s when he was a videotape editor at a TV station in Southern California. Late one night he made the mistake of hitting the wrong button while watching porn at work, sending a graphic scene out over the air.

The bad news? He got fired. The good news? He became famous when Johnny Carson mentioned it in his opening monologue a few nights later.

What’s more disturbing is that they used it for the lead-in to a story on Ulcerative Colitis-which is about the worst sickness one can have-and it isn’t f–king funny. So for these turds at CNN to make light of a severe illness that literally ruins people’s lives is just what I would expect out of the left. But then again, the death panels will make sure the unwashed people with UC will be left to die, so that they can openly make jokes about them in the future!

Be sure and watch for lead-ins on terrorism stories to include scenes from, “Passenger 57” and stories on tax evasion to include scenes from, well, uh, “Passenger 57” and stories on “art imitating life” from – you guessed it! – “Passenger 57”.

and CNN needs to show some character having some nasty bathroom session to discuss a malady?Like I say, this is what clueless college kids think is funny. This is what Ryan thinks is news…thats why he watches and defends CNN.
